When Mom Cut Our Hair

 

- remembering my brother's head... oh, it was stunningly awful... 

 

 

I couldn't believe it, yet

At the same time, I could...

Talking about that time Mom

Cut my brother's hair, it was

A disaster.  The woman had

Absolutely no talent for it, I

Mean she even badly botched

It using a hair clipper, that takes

Some doing, if you ask me...

 

I really tried my best not to

Burst out in tears of laughter

On seeing my brother's head,

But oh did it ever stand out!

There were very visible, very

Uneven white patches all around

His skull, it was totally awful.

And of course to make matters

Better, my brother arrived in

Class pretty late, getting himself

 

Noticed by all of our classmates

Who, you can probably guess,

Outright laughed hard at him.

I felt bad for my brother, I'd've

Been mortified had it been me.

After this last disaster, I can say

My brother and I never let our

Mother cut our hair ever again.

The woman was terrible at it,

Even after completing a course.

Sure, cutting hair requires skills,

But a modicum of talent helps...

She obviously possessed none.

 

We knew better than to let that happen

Again, so it was the last time she ever did.
